I agree.

Sadly, though, we live in a world where people think that just because something is legal, it is something they SHOULD do. There are whole youtube channels devoted to pushing your rights to annoy people right up to the line, then hiding behind "what I'm doing isn't illegal". (Ok, but you're still an asshole.)

It's also not illegal to mock mentally handicapped people and to call people racial slurs. I feel like we're about 2 minutes away from someone starting a channel to exploit that.

> I don't usually fly, but I made an exception when my sick parents needed me. During the flight, the turbulence was so bad that I found myself praying for it to stop. Although I wasn't on a flight like that again, I know I would be extremely frightened and possibly even pass out if I experienced such turbulence again.

I had a close associate who perished as a passenger on the first plane to hit the WTC. As much as I mourned his loss what eats at me to this day was the stark terror he must have felt watching as the plane descended to the level of the buildings in Manhattan. Even if his death was nearly instantaneous no one should have to endure that level of fear. Same for these Max passengers. Oh and like my buddy they felt it, however briefly

Under NYS law this would eliminate there moral damages since they don't ascribe inherent value to peoples lives. Lawsuits can only sue for pain, suffering and medical costs while someone is alive and lost wages as a result of an injury including after someone dies. As a result if someone dies as a result of an accident it reduces damages.

I am so tired of the ridiculous corporate propaganda in the United States. Deregulation and risky financial investments without leaving enough working capital on hand was the reason for the failure, not remote work.
